Unfortunately, these are definitely upper-class prices. What you are talking
about is literally just a motherboard and CPU; nothing else is included, not
even a power supply or case. An actual Talos machine would be this one:

Note the cost: $6,750. For a single machine, that is monumentally expensive.
That's literally roughly half my yearly salary. I would never buy a single
computer at anywhere near that price. I'm sure many others would say the same
thing.
Yeah, the price would go down with mass volume, but people like me can't be
the driving force behind that. We just don't have that kind of money.
